Running the gamut of emotions is tiring.

Everything hurts and yet how can I complain?

 

Today I chose despair instead of hope,

Then shame and more despair.

 

Everything hurts.

I am so tired of hurting.

 

I am angry.

It's not fair.

 

I dare not ask, "Why me?"

Why not me?

 

I miss my old body,

The one I took for granted,

And now it's gone.

 

And this mess that I am left with

Demands compromises

Every minute of every day.

 

I am tired of compromising.

 

I am tired of hurting.

 

I am tired.
